- the length of the first metal frame 1 is within the range of a quarter wavelength of a specified band, and the length of the first metal frame 1 is greater than the length of the second metal frame 2.
- the first metal frame 1 includes a feeding point 3, the feeding point 3 being located at a specified position of the first end of the first metal frame 1.
- the feeding point 3 is coupled to a first end of a first capacitive device 4, a second end of the first capacitive device 4 is coupled to a first end of a changeover switch 5, a second end of the changeover switch 5 is coupled to a first end of a second capacitive device 6 or a first end of an inductive device 7, a second end of the second capacitive device 6 or a second end of the inductive device 7 is coupled to a first ground point, and a second end of the first metal frame 1 is coupled to a second ground point, so as to form a first sub-antenna.

- FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 are schematic diagrams of a front solid structure and a back solid structure of the antenna on the mobile terminal, respectively. That is to say, the antenna is designed here by using the existing first metal frame 1 and second metal frame 2 of the mobile terminal. Thus, space occupied by the antenna may be saved without the addition of other devices or antenna branches. That is, an antenna may be designed in a smaller clearance area by using the first metal frame 1 and the second metal frame 2, and radiation of various band signals is implemented by using the antenna.
- both the first metal frame 1 and the second metal frame 2 may be a bottom frame of the mobile terminal.
- both the first metal frame 1 and the second metal frame 2 may also be a top frame of the mobile terminal, or, either the first metal frame 1 or the second metal frame 2 may be the top frame of the mobile terminal while the other one is the bottom frame of the mobile terminal, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

- the second end of the first capacitive device 4 is coupled to the first end of the changeover switch 5, and the second end of the changeover switch 5 is coupled to the first end of the second capacitive device 6 or the first end of the inductive device 7, so that when the changeover switch 5 is switched between the second capacitive device 6 and the inductive device 7, the radiation of different band signals may be implemented.
- the changeover switch 5 may be usually loaded to a position of a non-electric field zero point of the first metal frame 1 under a low-order mode and a high-order mode so as not to affect the operation of the changeover switch 5.
- the changeover switch 5 may be located at a center point of the first metal frame 1.
- the second end of the first capacitive device 4 is coupled to the first end of the changeover switch 5 through the first metal frame 1.
- the second end of the first capacitive device 4 is coupled to the first metal frame 1, and the first end of the changeover switch 5 is coupled to the first metal frame 1. Since the first metal frame 1 has conductivity, the second end of the first capacitive device 4 is coupled to the first end of the changeover switch 5 through the first metal frame 1.

- an example that the antenna can radiate a band n77 in Sub-6GHz is taken.
- the above specified band may range from 1.1 GHz to 1.2 GHz.
- the length of the first metal frame 1 meets a quarter wavelength mode around the frequency range of 1.1 to 1.2 GHz, wherein the wavelength is the above specified band wavelength.
- a difference between the length of the first metal frame 1 and 30 mm is within a preset range, and the length of the second metal frame 2 ranges from 16 mm to 20 mm. That is, the length of the second metal frame 2 is usually required to meet a low-order mode resonance length of a high frequency portion from 2.3 GHz to 2.7 GHz.
- the above preset range may be customized by the user according to actual demands, that is, the length of the first metal frame 1 may be set as about 30 mm.
- the first capacitive device 4 has a capacitance ranging from 0.5 pf to 2.5 pf.
- the first capacitive device 4 may be selected as an adjustable capacitor, so as to set the magnitude of a required capacitance value by adjusting the capacitance value of the adjustable capacitor during the implementation. For example, compared with a scenario where the changeover switch is switched to be coupled to the second capacitive device 6, when the changeover switch 5 is switched to be coupled to the inductive device 7, the capacitance value of the first capacitive device 4 may be adjusted to be slightly larger.
- the position of the feeding point 3 is adjusted to be close to the tail end of the first metal frame 1.
- the length of the first metal frame 1 meets a quarter wavelength mode around a frequency range of 1.1 GHz to 1.2 GHz.
- point mark1 corresponding to the frequency range of 1.1 GHz to 1.2 GHz falls on a smith zero axis, and a corresponding frequency point of 0.9 GHz falls around a 50 Ohm constant impedance circle in an inductive area, as shown in the position of point mark2 in the smith diagram.
- a resonance frequency under a three-quarter wavelength mode of the first metal frame 1 approximately falls around the range of 3.3 GHz to 3.6 GHz, such as a range of mark3 to mark4 in the smith diagram. This segment also falls on and intersects with the 50 Ohm constant impedance circle. Therefore, when a first capacitive device with a smaller capacitance value is connected to the feeding point 3 in series, low frequency portions of 2G, 3G and 4G bands and a portion of Sub-6GHz can be simultaneously drawn to be around 50 Ohm along the direction of an arrow, and two resonant modes are activated simultaneously. Thus, the radiation of various band signals may be implemented by using resonances under different wavelength modes corresponding to the first metal frame 1.
- the width of the breaking joint may cause a certain influence on the antenna
- the width of the breaking joint between the first end of the first metal frame 1 and the second end of the second metal frame 2 may be set as 2 mm, so as to implement a good signal radiation.
- first ground point, the second ground point and the third ground point may be equal to each other or may also be different from each other, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.
- the first sub-antenna and the second sub-antenna are configured to radiate a low-and-medium frequency signal and a signal of a low frequency millimeter wave band.
- the changeover switch 5 is switched to be coupled to the inductive device 7, the first sub-antenna and the second sub-antenna are configured to radiate a high frequency signal and the signal of the low frequency millimeter wave band.

- a resonance under a quarter wavelength mode of the first sub-antenna is configured to radiate a low frequency signal
- a resonance under a three-quarter wavelength mode of the first sub-antenna is configured to radiate a signal of a Sub-6GHz band.
- FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of a return loss of a radiated signal. From FIG. 6 , it can be seen that the first sub-antenna and the second sub-antenna in this case implement radiation of a low-and-medium frequency signal and a signal of a Sub-6GHz band.
- FIG. 7 is an equivalent circuit diagram according to an exemplary embodiment.
- a resonance under a three-quarter wavelength mode of the first sub-antenna is configured to radiate a signal of a Sub-6GHz band.
- FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram of a return loss of a radiated signal. From FIG. 8 , it can be seen that the first sub-antenna and the second sub-antenna in this case implement radiation of a high frequency signal and a signal of a Sub-6GHz band.

Abstract
Description
- The embodiments of the present disclosure relate to the technical field of mobile terminals, and in particular to an antenna and a mobile terminal.
- With the arrival of a 5G era, more and more bands are available for signal transmission, so that demands for antenna radiation in a mobile terminal are also increasing. For example, the antenna is required to be able to radiate signals in a low frequency millimeter wave band in 5G in addition to an existing band. The low frequency millimeter wave band is commonly known as a Sub-6GHz band. However, with the rapid development of the mobile terminal technology, a screen-to-body ratio of the mobile terminal is increasing, and a number of devices having a metal structure internally is also increasing, thereby causing the decrease of a clearance area for designing the antenna inside the body of the mobile terminal. Therefore, at present, it is urgently necessary to design an antenna in a smaller clearance area to implement radiation of various band signals.
- Accordingly, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide an antenna and a mobile terminal, which can implement radiation of various band signals.
- According to a first aspect of the embodiments of the present disclosure, there is provided an antenna, applied to a mobile terminal, the mobile terminal includes a first metal frame and a second metal frame, a breaking joint is provided between a first end of the first metal frame and a first end of the second metal frame, the length of the first metal frame is within the range of a quarter wavelength of a specified band, and the length of the first metal frame is greater than the length of the second metal frame,

a second end of the second metal frame is coupled to a third ground point, so as to form a second sub-antenna. - In the aforementioned technical solution, the antenna is mainly implemented by a first metal frame and a second metal frame of the mobile terminal, a breaking joint being provided between the first metal frame and the second metal frame.

In addition, the second metal frame is coupled to a third ground point, so as to form another portion of the antenna. Since the length of the first metal frame is within the range of a quarter wavelength of a specified band, when the changeover switch is switched between the second capacitive device and the inductive device, the two portions of the antenna not only may implement radiation of the existing band signal, but also may implement radiation of a signal of a low frequency millimeter wave band by using a harmonic wave under a high-order mode of the first metal frame, that is, may also radiate a signal of a Sub 6GHz band. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the antenna implements radiation of various different band signals without the addition of other devices and antenna branches.

- Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail here, examples thereof being expressed in the drawings. When the following description involves the drawings, identical digits in different drawings represent identical or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. Implementation manners described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all implementation manners consistent with the present disclosure. On the contrary, they are only examples of a device and a method consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure.
- Before an antenna structure and a signal radiation principle provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail, an application scenario involved in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be briefly introduced first.
- At present, similar to a Time Division Long Term Evolution (TDD-LTE) and a Frequency Division Duplex Long Term Evolution (FDD-LTE) of a 4G era, a 5G technology at the present stage also has two development directions namely millimeter wave bands of Sub-6GHz and 6GHz or above. In the two directions, the implementation of Sub-6GHz is relatively easy and can follow the existing infrastructure of an operator, and the division of bands is also relatively clear. Therefore, over the next few years, the Sub-6GHz band will become an important transitory technology of a 5G upgrade plan of the operator. The Sub-6GHz band may include bands n77, n78 and n79, such as 3.3 GHz to 3.6 GHz in the band n77 domestically issued to be used, and 4.8 GHz to 5 GHz in the used band n79. This requires the demands for radiating the antenna in the mobile terminal to increase. That is, the antenna is required to not only radiate a signal of the existing band, but also radiate a signal of the above Sub-6GHz band, the existing band including, for example, 2G, 3G or 4G. However, with the popularization and evolution of full screen and metal materials, a clearance area reserved in the mobile terminal for the antenna is more and more compact. Thus, it will be very difficult to radiate a signal of a Sub-6GHz band on the basis of radiating the existing band signal.
- To this end, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide an antenna. The antenna may implement radiation of signals of the existing band and a Sub-6GHz band without the addition of a device such as a switch and antenna branches, so as to solve a contradiction between the increasingly difficult antenna design and the increase of band demands.
- The following will introduce the antenna provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure in detail with reference to the drawings. Referring to
FIG. 1, FIG. 1 is a structural schematic diagram of an antenna according to an exemplary embodiment. The antenna is applied to a mobile terminal. The mobile terminal mainly includes afirst metal frame 1 and asecond metal frame 2. A breaking joint is provided between a first end of thefirst metal frame 1 and a first end of thesecond metal frame 2. The length of thefirst metal frame 1 is within the range of a quarter wavelength of a specified band, and the length of thefirst metal frame 1 is greater than the length of thesecond metal frame 2. - The
first metal frame 1 includes afeeding point 3, thefeeding point 3 being located at a specified position of the first end of thefirst metal frame 1. Thefeeding point 3 is coupled to a first end of afirst capacitive device 4, a second end of thefirst capacitive device 4 is coupled to a first end of achangeover switch 5, a second end of thechangeover switch 5 is coupled to a first end of asecond capacitive device 6 or a first end of aninductive device 7, a second end of thesecond capacitive device 6 or a second end of theinductive device 7 is coupled to a first ground point, and a second end of thefirst metal frame 1 is coupled to a second ground point, so as to form a first sub-antenna. A second end of the second metal frame is coupled to a third ground point, so as to form a second sub-antenna. - Referring to
FIG. 2 andFIG. 3 ,FIG. 2 andFIG. 3 are schematic diagrams of a front solid structure and a back solid structure of the antenna on the mobile terminal, respectively. That is to say, the antenna is designed here by using the existingfirst metal frame 1 andsecond metal frame 2 of the mobile terminal. Thus, space occupied by the antenna may be saved without the addition of other devices or antenna branches. That is, an antenna may be designed in a smaller clearance area by using thefirst metal frame 1 and thesecond metal frame 2, and radiation of various band signals is implemented by using the antenna. - In some embodiments, both the
first metal frame 1 and thesecond metal frame 2 may be a bottom frame of the mobile terminal. Of course, in some other embodiments, both thefirst metal frame 1 and thesecond metal frame 2 may also be a top frame of the mobile terminal, or, either thefirst metal frame 1 or thesecond metal frame 2 may be the top frame of the mobile terminal while the other one is the bottom frame of the mobile terminal, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure. - The above specified position may be customized by a user according to actual demands, that is, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, a
feeding point 3 is disposed at a tail end, close to the breaking joint, of thefirst metal frame 1, and thefeeding point 3 is coupled to the first end of thefirst capacitive device 4. In addition, in order to implement radiation of different band signals, the second end of thefirst capacitive device 4 is coupled to the first end of thechangeover switch 5, and the second end of thechangeover switch 5 is coupled to the first end of thesecond capacitive device 6 or the first end of theinductive device 7, so that when thechangeover switch 5 is switched between thesecond capacitive device 6 and theinductive device 7, the radiation of different band signals may be implemented. - Further, since there is an electric field zero point in a radiating magnetic field of the
first metal frame 1, thechangeover switch 5 may be usually loaded to a position of a non-electric field zero point of thefirst metal frame 1 under a low-order mode and a high-order mode so as not to affect the operation of thechangeover switch 5. For example, in some embodiments, thechangeover switch 5 may be located at a center point of thefirst metal frame 1. - In a possible implementation manner, the second end of the
first capacitive device 4 is coupled to the first end of thechangeover switch 5 through thefirst metal frame 1. - For example, the second end of the
first capacitive device 4 is coupled to thefirst metal frame 1, and the first end of thechangeover switch 5 is coupled to thefirst metal frame 1. Since thefirst metal frame 1 has conductivity, the second end of thefirst capacitive device 4 is coupled to the first end of thechangeover switch 5 through thefirst metal frame 1. - In some embodiments, the second end of the
first capacitive device 4 is coupled to thefirst metal frame 1 through an elastic piece, and the first end of thechangeover switch 5 is coupled to thefirst metal frame 1 through an elastic piece. - Further, the second end of the
first capacitive device 4 may be coupled to thefirst metal frame 1 through one or more elastic pieces, and the first end of thechangeover switch 5 may also be coupled to thefirst metal frame 1 through one or more elastic pieces. - In some embodiments, an example that the antenna can radiate a band n77 in Sub-6GHz is taken. In this case, the above specified band may range from 1.1 GHz to 1.2 GHz. In this way, the length of the
first metal frame 1 meets a quarter wavelength mode around the frequency range of 1.1 to 1.2 GHz, wherein the wavelength is the above specified band wavelength. - In a possible implementation manner, a difference between the length of the
first metal frame 1 and 30 mm is within a preset range, and the length of thesecond metal frame 2 ranges from 16 mm to 20 mm. That is, the length of thesecond metal frame 2 is usually required to meet a low-order mode resonance length of a high frequency portion from 2.3 GHz to 2.7 GHz. - The above preset range may be customized by the user according to actual demands, that is, the length of the
first metal frame 1 may be set as about 30 mm. - Further, the
first capacitive device 4 has a capacitance ranging from 0.5 pf to 2.5 pf. In an optional implementation manner, in order to improve the radiation accuracy of the antenna, thefirst capacitive device 4 may be selected as an adjustable capacitor, so as to set the magnitude of a required capacitance value by adjusting the capacitance value of the adjustable capacitor during the implementation. For example, compared with a scenario where the changeover switch is switched to be coupled to thesecond capacitive device 6, when thechangeover switch 5 is switched to be coupled to theinductive device 7, the capacitance value of thefirst capacitive device 4 may be adjusted to be slightly larger. - In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the position of the
feeding point 3 is adjusted to be close to the tail end of thefirst metal frame 1. The length of thefirst metal frame 1 meets a quarter wavelength mode around a frequency range of 1.1 GHz to 1.2 GHz. In this case, as shown inFIG. 4 , according to a smith diagram inFIG. 4 , it is apparent that point mark1 corresponding to the frequency range of 1.1 GHz to 1.2 GHz falls on a smith zero axis, and a corresponding frequency point of 0.9 GHz falls around a 50 Ohm constant impedance circle in an inductive area, as shown in the position of point mark2 in the smith diagram. In this case, through a triple relation calculation, it is apparent that a resonance frequency under a three-quarter wavelength mode of thefirst metal frame 1 approximately falls around the range of 3.3 GHz to 3.6 GHz, such as a range of mark3 to mark4 in the smith diagram. This segment also falls on and intersects with the 50 Ohm constant impedance circle. Therefore, when a first capacitive device with a smaller capacitance value is connected to thefeeding point 3 in series, low frequency portions of 2G, 3G and 4G bands and a portion of Sub-6GHz can be simultaneously drawn to be around 50 Ohm along the direction of an arrow, and two resonant modes are activated simultaneously. Thus, the radiation of various band signals may be implemented by using resonances under different wavelength modes corresponding to thefirst metal frame 1. - Further, since the width of the breaking joint may cause a certain influence on the antenna, in some embodiments, the width of the breaking joint between the first end of the
first metal frame 1 and the second end of thesecond metal frame 2 may be set as 2 mm, so as to implement a good signal radiation. - It is to be noted that the first ground point, the second ground point and the third ground point may be equal to each other or may also be different from each other, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.
- The principle of radiating, by the antenna, various band signals will be introduced thereafter. As described above, when the
changeover switch 5 is switched between thesecond capacitive device 6 and theinductive device 7, the radiation of different band signals may be implemented specifically as follows: - When the
changeover switch 5 is switched to be coupled to thesecond capacitive device 6, the first sub-antenna and the second sub-antenna are configured to radiate a low-and-medium frequency signal and a signal of a low frequency millimeter wave band. When thechangeover switch 5 is switched to be coupled to theinductive device 7, the first sub-antenna and the second sub-antenna are configured to radiate a high frequency signal and the signal of the low frequency millimeter wave band. - Further, when the
changeover switch 5 is switched to be coupled to thesecond capacitive device 6, a portion between a position where thesecond capacitive device 6 is located in the first sub-antenna and the breaking joint and the second sub-antenna are jointly configured to radiate a medium frequency signal, a resonance under a quarter wavelength mode of the first sub-antenna is configured to radiate a low frequency signal, and a resonance under a three-quarter wavelength mode of the first sub-antenna is configured to radiate the signal of the low frequency millimeter wave band. Alternatively, when thechangeover switch 5 is switched to be coupled to theinductive device 7, a portion between a position where theinductive device 7 is located in the first sub-antenna and the breaking joint and the second sub-antenna are jointly configured to radiate a high frequency signal, a resonance under a three-quarter wavelength mode of the first sub-antenna is configured to radiate the signal of the low frequency millimeter wave band. - When the
changeover switch 5 is switched to be coupled to thesecond capacitive device 6, referring toFIG. 5, FIG. 5 is an equivalent circuit diagram according to an exemplary embodiment. In this case, a resonance under a quarter wavelength mode of the first sub-antenna is configured to radiate a low frequency signal, and a resonance under a three-quarter wavelength mode of the first sub-antenna is configured to radiate a signal of a Sub-6GHz band. Referring toFIG. 6, FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of a return loss of a radiated signal. FromFIG. 6 , it can be seen that the first sub-antenna and the second sub-antenna in this case implement radiation of a low-and-medium frequency signal and a signal of a Sub-6GHz band. - When the
changeover switch 5 is switched to be coupled to theinductive device 7, referring toFIG. 7, FIG. 7 is an equivalent circuit diagram according to an exemplary embodiment. In this case, a resonance under a three-quarter wavelength mode of the first sub-antenna is configured to radiate a signal of a Sub-6GHz band. Referring toFIG. 8, FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram of a return loss of a radiated signal. FromFIG. 8 , it can be seen that the first sub-antenna and the second sub-antenna in this case implement radiation of a high frequency signal and a signal of a Sub-6GHz band. - It is also to be noted that the number of the
changeover switch 5, thesecond capacitive device 6 and theinductive device 7 and the number of channel statuses will not be limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure. That is, since the Sub-6GHz band includes a plurality of bands such as n77, n78 and n79, in some embodiments, a plurality ofchangeover switches 5, a plurality of secondcapacitive devices 6 or a plurality ofinductive devices 7 may be provided, so as to implement radiation of signals of the different bands n77, n78 and n79. For example, when a signal of the band n77 is radiated, the capacitance value of thesecond capacitive device 6 is 2.7 pf, and the inductance value of theinductive device 7 is 8 n. - In the embodiments of the present disclosure, an antenna is provided, which is applied to a mobile terminal. The antenna is mainly implemented by a first metal frame and a second metal frame of the mobile terminal, a breaking joint being provided between the first metal frame and the second metal frame. A specified position of an end, close to the breaking joint, of the first metal frame includes a feeding point, the feeding point is coupled to a first capacitive device, the first capacitive device is coupled to a changeover switch, the changeover switch is coupled to a second capacitive device or an inductive device, the second capacitive device or the inductive device is coupled to a first ground point, and the first metal frame is coupled to a second ground point, so as to form a portion of the antenna. In addition, the second metal frame is coupled to a third ground point, so as to form another portion of the antenna. Since the length of the first metal frame is within the range of a quarter wavelength of a specified band, when the changeover switch is switched between the second capacitive device and the inductive device, the two portions of the antenna not only may implement radiation of the existing band signal, but also may implement radiation of a signal of a low frequency millimeter wave band by using a harmonic wave under a high-order mode of the first metal frame, that is, may also radiate a signal of a Sub 6GHz band. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the antenna implements radiation of various different band signals without the addition of other devices and antenna branches.
